Unmanned Systems Technology
The rapidly growing field of Unmanned Systems Technology (UST) enables students to gain knowledge and skills as an advanced drone operator, first responder specialist, unmanned systems technician, or GIS/unmanned Systems Specialist. This program prepares students for entry and advancement within the unmanned systems technology workforce (aerial, land, and water vehicles/robotics) field and to pilot unmanned aircrafts for private and commercial industries. The program also requires students to make reasonable predictions of how the current unmanned systems technology will integrate into existing careers.
